Eni Aluko (me neither) has got all ‘hurty feelers’ and has gone ‘kwying’ to her lawyers to decide upon a course of action. Apparently she’s been getting a ton of abuse online and as a result of which does not feel safe enough to actually leave her home. She said from abroad somewhere. So not unsafe enough to make it to an airport then, eh?
Apparently the online abuse has been fuelled by Joey Barton having the audacity to express an opinion that is critical of women pundits and commentators passing comment on men’s professional football. Admittedly Barton comparing Aluko and “co-commentator” Lucy Ward to Fred and Rose West was probably not the best analogy, but it’s his opinion and he’s perfectly within his rights to express it. Whether this daft cow likes it or not. Actual death threats aside, online abuse I’d imagine is just hurty words. That’s right, words. So what could be the basis of legal action? Let’s take a look at what this unqualified, thin skinned tart had to say:
“I felt under threat this week”
“I’ve genuinely been scared. I didn’t leave my house until Friday, and I’m now abroad, because it’s really important to say that online abuse has a direct impact on your safety and how you feel, and how safe you feel in real life”
“I felt like something was going to happen to me. And I don’t say that for anyone to feel sorry for me, I say that for people to understand the reality and the impact that hate speech has; the impact that racism has; the impact that sexism and misogyny has on all of us females in the game”
What’s the common link here? Can you tell what it is yet? That’s right, it’s how she FELT. So, on the basis of how she chose to FEEL, criminal charges must be brought to bear. And as per usual we didn’t have to wait long for her to throw in several “isms”. I mean, you can’t play victim without ramping up the vitriol can you?
As far as I’m aware, Barton’s point is and always has been women have not played the men’s game and as such are not qualified to express insightful and integral professional opinions on a game and at a level they have zero experience of. Not sure what’s racist about that. You could make the argument that providing jobs to such females is in fact sexist. On the basis it discriminates against male pundits who do have the prerequisite knowledge and experience as thus denies them the same opportunity for the sake of diversity and inclusivity. In other words, box ticking which is also central to Barton’s argument.
Fact is, these bints don’t like being called out because the current environment has given them a sense of entitlement. Sooner or later that pendulum will swing the other way and Ani and her ilk will be out of work. Good. Can’t happen soon enough.

With her abroad at least my eardrums are safe from her inane witterings on a subject she knows bugger all about..
Nowadays I choose a American or Middle Eastern stream to watch football.
Surprisingly the Muslims have little respect for women,news to me..
20
She does have a track record of talking bollocks.
I seem to remember her getting pelters for saying Leeds only got promoted because of covid and Simon Jordan ( orange bell end) made her cry on talkshite. She had made some stupid comments on a player’s transfer price being pushed up or some such bollocks, probably a link somewhere on interweb.
She is a grade A chippy cunt and at least Rose West was white
31
Simon Jordan is a bellend, but at least he’s not a PC bellend.
9
The Leeds one was Karen Carney. Another fucking gobshite.

It’s all about numbers. If people watch women commentators you’ll get women commentators. I rarely watch football now but if there’s work commentators I switch it off.
They are irritating on a different level, women’s voice don’t convey a sense of excitement, they convey a sense of hysterical bitch!
28
Well said! This is it in a nutshell.
7
Most people (politicians excluded) doing a job they clearly aren’t suitable for or are terrible at, usually keep their heads down and hope no one notices.
Not this chippy gobshite.
Any criticism is viewed through the prism of racism or the imagined effect it has on wimminz.
She’s out of her depth. She knows it, male pundits know it, other wimminz know it.
But she’s black, a wimminz and in the telly, so how dare anyone criticise.
I just wish Barton didn’t leave himself open with obviously controversial comments.
Having said that, if he’d spoken with all the diplomacy in the world, he’d still get slaughtered by our one sided media.
Keep it up Joey. Just choose your words carefully.
33
Does she speak Klingon?
12
‘Now I’m abroad’
I assume by that she went home.
There. Fixed it for her.
15
That Joey makes me laugh!😂
Always with the cheeky quips.
I always thought footballers were retards?
But no!
They can be funny too.
21
Phil Jones is hilarious.

Oh bugger..

I’m sure she can critique Kevin De Bruyne or mo salah with skills like these..

Please , please , wherever the fuck she’s gone please let her stay there, ask all her relatives and friends to join her too………..ever the optimist 👌

Maybe she should just turn her phone and laptop off.
Or get one of those Nokia bricks.
Problem solved

Good nom by the way IY.
Joey Barton is a cunt but he’s not wrong either.
11
Ta Herman.
It was her petulant and immature public outburst that really got on my tits. Yet another example of ‘I have hurt feelings so you can’t have free speech’. Oh do fuck off.
19
She doesn’t need Joey Barton for controversy.
She has deleted several tweets criticising the furlough scheme;
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52644983
She was under investigation from the FA for breaching rules by being a paid consultant for a sports agency, despite having a first in Law from Brunel University. She claimed it was in retaliation for her own complaints to the FA regarding the racist attitudes of England coach Mark Sampson.
https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/24/lot-of-england-team-still-havent-apologised-eni-aluko-after-whistleblowing
She has caused a fair bit of disharmony n the Women’s England squad as well
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/11/03/lucy-bronze-dont-have-problem-eni-cant-get-everyone-work/
She also seems to be quite capricious in her career choices, working at Slaughter and May then fucking off to play for Juventus.
4
No idea about the other things,but she called it right on furlough.

Well, not really.

Maybe Joey should let Eni hate fuck him in retaliation.

‘Not only has he shown him the red card, but he’s sent him off’ – David Pleat
‘Peter Schmeichel will be like a father figure to Kasper Schmeichel’ – Jamie Redknapp
‘There won’t be a dry house in this place’ – Mark Lawrenson
‘I couldn’t settle in Italy. It was like living in a foreign country’ – Ian Rush
‘I’d like to play for an Italian club like Barcelona’ – Mark Draper
‘They were numerically outnumbered’ – Gary Birtles
‘If history repeats itself we can expect the same thing again’ – Ron Atkinson
Honestly, show me one woman with the same footballing insight and enlightenment as these illuminati. It’s a game of two halves and I’m gutted.

‘They’re the second best team in the world, and there’s no higher praise than that’ -Kevin Keegan

Shaun Wright Phillips has a got a big heart. It’s as big as he is, which isn’t very big, but it’s bigger.
Also King Kev
12
Keggy was one hell of a player. His prime being at Liverpool, Only Martin Buchan could handle Keegan. I can’t think of anyone else who could.
My favourite is Big Ron on Norman Whiteside’s spectacular extra time winner in the 1985 FA Cup Final.
‘Tell you what, Norman does that in training. He used Van den Howe as a human shield to stop Big Nev seeing the ball. Norman then did a few stepovers before putting it in. You could say he gave it the full lollipop.’

Ron Atkinson on Marcel Desailly
“He’s what is known in some schools as a fucking lazy thick nigger.”
CMC is quite right. It’s a direct quote. See link below – NA
Grauniad Link.
15
Wish Big Ron was still MUFC manager.
5
Big Ron was a good pundit as well.
4
No, he was completely wrong about Desailly.
He was just a sad old racist cunt.
3
I’m not insinuating that he was a good pundit simply because of what he said about Marcel Desailly.
Ron Atkinson was a good pundit.
He knew the game, was always good for a turn of phrase and the partnerships he developed with Brian Moore and Clive Tyldsley over the years, were more than half decent.
5
He brought a smile back to Old Trafford after the dim dark years of Dave Sexton. Ron brought in quality like Robson, Muhren, Strachan, Hughes, Whiteside, Olsen, McGrath and others. It wasn’t always great, but we saw some wonderful attacking football most of the time. That 10 game winning run at the start of 1985-86 is still some of the greatest football I saw as a red.
6
I still have time for Ron because he understood the way United are supposed to play and he knew what the fans wanted. And only four managers have done that. Sir Matt, the Doc, Big Ron and Fergie.
8
Good fucking stay there you miserable bitch.

I don’t think having women commenting on sport and the men’s version is a problem……..
I think Hazel Irvine knows her snooker and she’s a good host.
I have no problem with female referees in snooker either but one or two are quite a bit bossy with the crowd.
But that’s fine.
Gabby Logan is another talent both to listen to and especially to look at.
I think Sue Barker knows her onions and played at a good enough level to have an opinion that’s valued even though we hardly see her anymore.
All of the above share the same personality characteristics which are they clearly have humility, have good knowledge of their subject, don’t come over as entitled and as far as I’m aware never play the Victim card in public
So for me it’s not about women but about the quality of the woman at hand
I can’t stand the one who screeches on the footy every time a ball goes forward as it hurts my brain, I’ve never heard of the subject of this cunting but I dislike her because she’s a victim and nobody wants to hear from a victim especially when they are entitled and being paid well for a job that they REALLY shouldn’t be commenting on.
She says any criticism is racist, sexist and misogynistic.
It is a fact (that if I was forced to back up I could) that women are the biggest haters of women especially If they are successful and post far more hatred towards other women on line than men do.
Racist – why? If somebody had called you a bungle Junny or a Black Current I’m sure you would have posted it but as she hadn’t I must assume it didn’t happen but because it’s a victim so any criticism must be racist.
It’s fucking tiresome.
I remember that Steph McGovern or stupid Steph as I call her after watching her finish sentences of a
person suffering from cerebral palsy on numerous occasions writing an article in the wake of the BBC gender inequality ‘pay scandal’ to say because she had a heavy regional accent her pay was much lower the Huw Edward’s who also sported a regional accent and who we now know loves a bit of cock.
No it isn’t. It’s lower because you’re not as sought after but hang on a minute what’s your Salary Stupid Steph…. Oh £104k fuck me that must be a struggle

Hayley McQueen on Sky and MUTV.
Good at her job and a horn machine…

Wimmin and sports commentary are as welcome as Sir Jimmy Savile OBE in a morgue.
11
And blek wimmin should never be allowed on television at all.
12
”Over the past week I have taken advice from lawyers and a course of action has now been decided on,” she said.
Fuck all.
Just like Channel 4 after the Kathy Newman vs Jordan Peterson embarrassment when C4 claimed police were involved/being ‘consulted’, and Jess Phillips chimped out and claimed to have called police over Carl Benjamin saying he wouldn’t rape her.
There’s also another female Labour MP, Thanggam Debonnaire, who claimed
“This person has just told me to drown – I believe that is a threat to kill,” after being told – online – to ‘get in the sea’ for saying something fucking stupid.
She decided to double down, and prove just how more stupid she was.
It always seems to be the response of ’empowered’, educated, middle-class narcissistic women to overreact and run straight to the patriarchy when they are shown up for their stupidity, just to shut down any further criticism with threats of legal action.
Pathetic fragile bints.
16
I find it all hilarious knowing what the female commentators would be like without having listened to them. Its been years since I last listened to either men or women giving their views on the game. I’d sooner just watch in silence or have something else on in the background. Superlatives are few when describing the game I’m watching and prefer to stick to my own opinions in silence. That goes for all sports.
5
I really cannot get my head round what woman think they can contribute, commentating on a predominately male game, played by men for men, or why they would even want to.
Understanding the offside rule does not make them an expert voice that anyone wants to hear.
6
If you allow women to discuss and give their opinions on something they’re rubbish at, we might as well allow the kids who have a kick about in local parks, to have their say at talking utter codswallop and they wouldn’t have to be payed.
5
Off Topic but still including an irritating woman.
Fucking Greta Thunburg is over here protesting again. This time it’s private airport expansion but the reason isn’t important.
Why the fuck is she allowed to come and go as she pleases when it’s known she’s an agitator and her presence will make protests bigger, harder to contain and bring publicity?
Any foreigner protesting in this country should have their visa cancelled!
15
Presumably she used teleportation to arrive since that’s carbon neutral.
Still, while she’s there she can help out a bit. Those windows won’t lick themselves.
16
Nah, she used Ncunti Gayblack’s TARDIS. Specially loaned to her by the BBC.
2
Her protests are in support of Boris Johnson’s 2019 Tory party manifesto commitment to Net Zero.
Hard for the authorities to complain when she’s agitating in favour of UK government policy.
6
Eni old iron has form with crying to the press, any comment made to her about her failings is of course racist.
8
Yes, as CPs post shows, she can condemn with impunity, because she is female, blick and a sports person, but heaven forbid anyone, male or female, has a go then out comes the race card, the bullying a woman card, the bullshit “fear for my life” twatage.
Stay in Nigeria, I’m sure there’s loads of men there who are eager to share their ‘femine’ side!
Muppet.

Feminine, drunk again, sorry.

Silly 🙊. Back to your mudhut dear.

These ‘Lionesses’ aren’t even Fourth Division class, never mind World Cup or Premiership standard. A bunch of 15 year old lads thrashed them.
Eluko is trouble with a capital T. As the great Gene Hunt would say, ‘Not so much a chip on the shoulder, more like the whole bloody chippy.’
Thing is, these professional treeswingers give it the ‘white privilege’ shite.
Yet Eluko has been handed everything on a plate. Rich parents nepotism, greased palms, everything done for her.
And the ‘in fear of my life’ bollocks is race card grandstanding worthy of Megain Mantis. I bet there hasn’t been one death threat against Eluko. And anyway, it’d be a waste of ammo.
